Looking for someone for repair work on a Hobie 16'. The boat is located in Emerald Isle, NC. Acquired the boat from a friend that didn't want it (it was his father's). Needs: new mast base; rudders redone (all components replaced); new traveller track and car ("modern" system); some cleats replaced on mast; possible glass work at the transom drain plugs. The boat is at our beach house and work will keep me from getting down with any frequency, if at all, for the next 3-4 months. Would like to be able to have it ready for spring.If you are in the eastern NC area and are interested let me know and we can discuss details and costs.

Did you try to contact a dealer in the region? Also try the local rental charter guys. They likely have a repair guy who needs work this time of year. Then maybe the local Hobie fleet. Try Hobie Class Fleets Page:

Only two dealers in area. One is in Myrtle Beach SC and the other up in the Nags head/Kill Devil Hills NC area. Each is a 3-4 hour drive. Hadn't thought about checking Hobie fleets. Thanks for the tip.
